Stacy Horn's Bio

The paperback for my new book, "The Restless Sleep: Inside New York City's Cold Case Squad," (Viking Press) came out in July, 2006. "Everything I am interested in and have been obsessed with for as long as I can remember--death and what is lost, abandoned or forgotten--comes together in this subject. I was born to write it." My second book, "Waiting for My Cats to Die: a morbid memoir," (St. Martin's Press) came out in 2001. I'm also a commentator for the NPR show, "All Things Considered."

In 1990, I founded Echo, a NYC-based online service filled with writers, artists, and professionals who log in everyday to talk about work, love, how hard life can be, and what's on TV. I wrote about Echo and the internet in a book called, "Cyberville: Clicks, Culture and the Creation of an Online Town" (Warner Books).

I grew up on Long Island, received a B.F.A. from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and a graduate degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU.
